Answer» When emailing a large list of persons, how do you get all the addresses in without having to type each one separately
(in Windows Live)Did you already READ what MS had to say about this?
How do I send a bulk email on Windows Live Mail
It seems that the limit is part of Live Mail. If so, you may wish to use an alternative e-mail service. A number of companies will offer free bulk e-mail.
Is this for a limited number of recipients? Like your extended family? If so, there are other ways to do it without breaking any rules.
The link below may HELP answer your question.
E-mail address limits.
Disclaimer. This information is subject to change.
Do your people want the e-mail? Will they subscribe to a service you provide? If so, you can use a different method to keep them up-to-date.
Yes they do want the email as it is a NEWSLETTER I have to send out each month. To between 20 & 30 people. So its not as tho I am sending out advertising material or anything to 1000s of people.
I had to type them in manually last month, surely there must be a quicker way. I even have them slotted together under the club names, but that doesnt seem to work (for me, anyway)Here are a few work-around tricks.
Create serrate address books with factious categories.
Like this:
Buddies
Cousins
Friends
Guys
Humans
Jay-walkers
Kill-joys
Muskrats
Persons
Each list could have, say 10 e-mail address. You then send the newsletter to the groups instead individuals. Saves sometime.
Also, set u p multiple email accounts for yourself. Each account would have its own limit as to how many outgoing message scan be sent in an hour.
Scheduled e-mail. If the limit is by number in an hours, use some kind of schedule to time groups to go out.
Get an economy web site that lets you do RSS.
Here's an introduction to RSS.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS
As the name implies, it is as summary of the new contents of the website.
Your customers have to subscribe to the site. Therefore, it is not unsolicited advertisement. A common practice is to send a new letter out every Thursday. Or what day you want. They get it in the e-mail as a desirable RSS feed.
You can get a economy web site for about $1 per month that can handle your needs. No need to pay more.
Short list of cheap hosts:
List of 25 web jousts for $1 per month.
Read carefully!
Quote “Your account has been abusing CPU resources for an extended period of time and has been disabled in order to ensure continued performance stability of the account and server. While we do limit each account to no more than 25% of a system’s CPU in our terms of service, we do not actively disable accounts until they greatly exceed that number, which is what happened in this case.”
Most will allow at least 1 GB per month bandwidth.
Hope that helps some. Thanks Geek - I already had them listed under a category, but didn't know how to post all the names in one go. It has been done by OTHERS in the past from the club, I'll ask them how they did it.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Do you have these persons, including their email address, entered into your Contacts in WLM (Windows Live Mail)? If not, then you should do so. That will eliminate the need to type the addresses each time you send. And, besides entering individual contacts in your WLM Contacts, you can add Groups (of contacts). Then, you can just select a Group and that will add the WHOLE group to the To: box in your outgoing emails.
